Unfortun

7、ately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers. Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with

8、which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation. Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult someti

9、mes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The result

10、s are even more serious. For where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods an

11、d the rain carries away the rich top soil in which crops grow. When all the top soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. 1. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can . A. keep him from the hot sunshineB. protect him from drought and floodsC

12、. make him draw quick profit from themD. enable him to build warships2. The underlined word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “”. A. to wash awayB. to make stay togetherC. to make wet D. to improve3.

13、nction of tree rootsC. warn that man mustnt destroy forests any moreD. explain how trees help to prevent drought and floodsBThe words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens because some animals are in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from

14、what people read or watch. About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. Its been the first bear hunt since 1994. Animal protection groups protested this decision. But local officials explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local p

15、eople. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida. This brings an old question back into the spotlight which is more important, protecting animals or protecting peoples interests? This question is asked in other countries too. In Switzerland, a wolf was sentenced to death

16、 by the Swiss government months ago. This is because the wolf killed 38 sheep and local people lost a lot of money. Days ago in China, three old men were arrested for killing a serow (鬣羚), a protected species. But they insisted they didnt know about this and killed the animal because it ruined their

17、 crops. However, these stories dont always mean that animal protection stops due to human interests, especially involving economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and 300 bears. But his base also offered jobs to local people

18、. “There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British biologist at Oxford University. “But we shouldnt push either one to the side, as the future is hanging in the balance.”4. In October 2

19、015, Florida held its first bear hunt after about_.A. five years B. ten yearsC. fourteen years D. twenty-one years5. What does the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Danger.B.

Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with? A. Human development should be considered first. B. W

21、e should pay more attention to animal protection. C. We should consider both the environment and human interests. D. Its difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems. C One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation（森林砍伐）is a blank stare（迷惑的眼神）that asks the question, “

22、Since I dont live there, what does it have to do with me?”The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics（热带地区）in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affe

23、cted by the loss of tropical forests.Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects（40 to 50 percent of all living things）live there, and

24、are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable（不可估量的）.Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the worlds commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the

25、Amazons rubber industry produces much of the worlds four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear（鞋类）and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation con

26、tributes to the greenhouse effect or heat of the earth from increased carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygenCarbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees.

27、The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the serious effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too

28、 late.Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.8. The underlined word “synthetics” in Paragraph 4 probably means_.A. natural rubber materials B. man-made materials C. tropical materials D. commercial rubber materials9. In the last paragraph the author

29、 tries to_.A. tell people how to avoid tropical deforestationB. warn people of the disastrous results of tropical deforestationC. let people understand what tropical deforestation isD. persuade people to buy something synthetic10.

32、onal, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the

33、 Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special.

34、 UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.2) The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and deci

35、des whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.3) After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good.
